Exploring barriers and facilitators for Black families seeking to privately adopt Black infants

Eric Harlin and Minhae Cho

Children and Youth Services Review, 2025, vol. 173, issue C

Abstract: The adoption of Black children by White parents remains a controversial practice in both public and private adoption throughout the U.S. While research surrounding transracial adoption is plentiful, there is a lack of research that provides insight from Black adoptive parents and their experience with the private adoption of Black children.
